Spare Change, based in LaGrange, got their start in 2002 as a four-piece band made up of a group of friends. They have a diverse selection of music, from rock, country, beach, funk, rap and classic rock.

Band members include Jordan Rouse of Mount Olive on lead and background vocals and guitar and mandolin; Veronica Welch of Jacksonville on vocals; Matt Bell of Greenville on violin and background vocals; Jeff Morris of LaGrange on drums; Michael Sullivan of Durham on lead guitar and vocals; and Chris Morden of New Bern on bass guitar and vocals.

The Coastline Band is headed by Jim Quick and is named for the Atlantic Coastline Railroad. According to the band’s website, “Quick’s been touring the Southeast US for more than 15 years, playing nearly 300 shows per year, and has released more than 11 albums.”

Quick has been a recipient of the Carolina Music Awards Entertainer Of The Year Award nine times.

According to The Embers website, the group “boasts numerous albums and single releases that span decades and all the crazes continuing to exhibit top quality showmanship, musicianship and professionalism. Having been inducted into the South Carolina Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame and most recently the South Carolina Beach Music Hall of Fame, The Embers carry the moniker of ‘North Carolina’s Official Ambassadors of Music.’”

The Embers have released more than 25 albums and single releases through the years.

The Tams were formed in Atlanta in 1962. The group began performing in local night spots for $1.25 each. These small wages only allowed for them to purchase matching Tam O’shanter hats to wear while on stage. From this trademark, the legendary Tams name was born. The Tams were signed to Arlen records and had their first Billboard hit in 1962.

They have received the title “Beach Band of the Decade” and have been inducted into the Georgia Hall of Fame, the Atlanta Hall of Fame and the Beach Music Hall of Fame. The current members include Charles Pope, his son Li’l Redd, Robert Arnold, Elton Richardson, Greg Gallashaw and Reginald Preston.
